Navigating Tax Day: Tips and Tricks for Filing Your Return

Today is the deadline to file federal and state income tax returns for 2022. The IRS has added new online tools for filers, and those who made little to no money last year may not be required to file a return. Taxpayers who can't file by April 18 can fill out Form 4868 for an automatic six-month extension to file, but an extension to file is not an extension to pay. The IRS typically sends refunds within 21 days of receiving a return, and audit rates are exceedingly low for most US tax filers.

"Tax Extension Tips and Deadlines for 2023"

The deadline to file taxes is April 18, and filers can still request an extension until October 16. Those who made less than $73,000 last year can file for free at IRS.gov. Failure to pay taxes results in a monthly penalty rate of 0.5% on the unpaid amount, increasing to 1% after 10 days of receiving an IRS notice. Low-income individuals should still file as they may be entitled to a refund. The average federal tax refund amount for the week ending April 7 was $2,878, down from last year due to pandemic-era federal payment programs and credits that have ended. Many Americans plan to use their refund to pay down debt, which has increased due to inflation.
